If you log into your Google Merchant account, you should find info on any product feed issues. You say 450 have been updated but does google have all 1000 and just not updating all of them? Have you checked your file to see if all 1000 are exporting properly?

Google Base has done this to me a couple of times, but I just retry and it usually works the 2nd or 3rd time.

I have always had one product that doesn't work though. Every time I upload, I get 949 out of 950 uploaded, or 1099 out of 1100 (always one missing)...... It has to be an error in the output file.

I scanned through the file but nothing obvious there and for the sake of one ellusive product, I wouldn't spend too much time on it.

As for you missing over half your products, have you tried splitting your feed file into two seperate feeds? Perhaps Google doesn't like the size of your file. That would be the first thing I'd try.

Is there any way to get around the 15 character minimum description set in place by the feed? I've had a quick look at the google base requirements set by google themselves and can't see a mention of it so not sure why it's set as that in the mod?

If you try and submit your feed without a description, it will be rejected.

Ok, so my whole weekend is gone and I have yet to resolve my googlebase feed problem. Can someone please help me.

I am having a feed code error: The following tags were not closed: rss, channel.
Line: 0 Character: 0

I have deleted the files and reinstalled the files and still get the same error. I also tried stopping the upload at 7000 still same error. Upload max product at 5000 still same error.

The feed usually contains 7200 out of 14500 products. Then when you try to view the file because I'm attempting to debug the problme I get the The following tags were not closed: rss, channel.
Line: 0 Character: 0

Also if I save the file to my desktop and try to view it, it opens through the internet and still get the same error The following tags were not closed: rss, channel.
Line: 0 Character: 0

Help Help Help...I'm so lost and confused!

I installed this and everything seems to work fine so far. My feed outputs fine and even uploads to google without errors. I can see that all 74 of my products were submitted without errors, but it seems as though the feed is blank within google. No products show up at all, clicking on my xml file wtihin google just says the following:

Feed status summary for domain_products.xml
71 of 71 items inserted - Processed on Mar 28, 2010 7:22 pm PDT
Detected file format: XML

I have no active items, no inactive items... can anybody help?

Hi
I was wondering if this module will work with a showcase store with prices ?

thanks

Ok, so I didn't get any responses and I uninstalled and reinstalled the googebase app. Now I keep getting 500 errors. I notice that google is renaming my database feed file. For example, I just created a text_feed.xml file and it is trying to upload to google as test_feed.xml_products.xml (adds _products.xml to the end). This is not the file name that I save. How do I fix this?

Got problems with the latest Google datafeed Google keeps returning erros like no condition and no price when there is. I have a older version still on my site and the file it creates uploads no problem. I have compared the outputs of both versions and the only difference is this code is in the new version

<g:product_type>
				<![CDATA[Religion]]>
			</g:product_type>

	<g:language>en</g:language>
			<g:currency>USD</g:currency>
			<g:payment_accepted>Visa</g:payment_accepted>
			<g:payment_accepted>MasterCard</g:payment_accepted>
			<g:payment_accepted>Paypal</g:payment_accepted>
			<g:payment_accepted>NoChex</g:payment_accepted>
			<g:shipping>
				<g:country>US</g:country>
				<g:region>*</g:region>
				<g:service>Royal Mail</g:service>
				<g:price>0</g:price>
			</g:shipping>

It is also stripping out the & as I have quotes in the ad titles eg

It puts in the datafeed

says quot;You

instead of

says "You
